Pattaya never disappoints haha. My 3rd night here was pretty damn good 😭

Thailand cuts visa-free stay to 30 days for travellers from 60 countries and territories

Thailand has revised its tourist visa-exemption scheme, allowing passport holders from 60 countries and territories to stay visa-free for up to 30 days, replacing the previous longer stay permitted under the earlier scheme.

The 60 countries and territories covered are:

Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Bhutan, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Fiji, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Malaysia, Maldives, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Türkiye, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Travellers using the visa-exemption scheme through land-border checkpoints will generally be limited to two entries per calendar year. Passport holders from Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Singapore are exempt from this limit, along with other nationalities that may later be designated by the Interior Minister.

Thailand has also introduced a separate 15-day visa exemption for passport holders from Seychelles and Mauritius. Those entering through land borders will generally also be limited to two entries per calendar year unless otherwise exempted.

Meanwhile, passport holders from Azerbaijan, Belarus and Serbia will be eligible to apply for Visa on Arrival at Thai immigration checkpoints.

The changes mark a significant adjustment to Thailand’s entry rules for international visitors, particularly long-stay tourists who have relied on visa-exempt entry.

Travellers planning a trip to Thailand are advised to check the latest entry conditions before departure, particularly if they intend to make repeated entries through land borders.

Do you peak too early and miss the good stuff if you start at one end over the other?

Do you waste good time and money at 2nd rate establishments close to your start point? and are too drained to continue?

Is the gold in the middle and you need to run the gauntlet from either end, exclaiming 'I meet friend, I meet friend' as you dash past baton wielding long haired assailants to start there and work your way outwards?

What are the absolute must eat at restaurants in Pattaya? Looking for both high end and also local spots that the actual residents go to

This time they we come to have fun and dance, not look for girls...

Hey all, I'm going China in March next year, and I would like to take a flight to Thailand. Because I will be brining electronic equio9back with me, would it be better to go to thail9forst and then China or China first and then Thailand? ( and then back to UK)

Is there a good blowjob bar near the Bangkok Airport?

Sit down or even street vendors not fussed.

Where do people recommend?

Im with my partner thinking of going for two months to Bangkok area in October and a November.
The plan would be to rent a private villa with private pool.
Was checking Airbnb and got super confused.
For one specific house weekly rent was 600 euros, but the same house for a month is 800 Euros.
Also there were some houses which theoretically cost 5000 Euros but they for a month asking 1500 euro.
How does that make sense?
Started digging into and found out that there's many scams around, and additional charges for electricity, water, security deposits etc.
Now I'm confused and don't want to get scammed, what would be the best way to avoid all that?
Guest favorites maybe?
Also there's not many villas available, at least through Airbnb, maybe there are some other, better sites?

I am seeing a lot of back and forth about this and would like to know what everyone actually does. Thailand is probably the only place I’ve been to around the world that people say don’t pay until the deed is done. Even on my very first trip I had both experience but was never a bad one. If you don’t mind answering the poll I’d appreciate it. Comments as to your answer are always interesting as well.

I’d like to ask how to meet Russian girls in Pattaya.

I am East Asian. During my last visit to Pattaya, I met a Russian girl and we had a great conversation, but I didn't ask for her contact details—it felt a bit too abrupt for me at the time. That has remained a regret of mine.

I’ll be heading to Pattaya next week for a long-term stay at Copa; I plan to work out and swim daily, and have a couple of drinks at the bars on Jomtien Beach in the evenings.

Could anyone offer some advice? How do I go about meeting and striking up a conversation with Western women?

Thanks.
